But *this* announcement would not be a global one. Launching article > quality survey is of great interest for the english wikipedia due to its > size. It is of much reduced interest for smaller language (as the lack > of interest in validation topics by minor languages show in meta).I'd also give some time for concerned language Wikipedia(s) to think and decide to activate or not that feature.
IMO validation activation shouldn't be decided by Foundation, but directly by contributors.Nicolas
Which is really good, because I do not think the Foundation has *ever* suggested it would do so. What makes you think it would ?

At the moment it's going in on en: because Magnus wrote the code and I and others have pushed for it to be in 1.5 - plans for a "Wikipedia 1.0" use some sort of distributed rating system. I presume it'll be on de: as well - Mathias Schindler started [[m:De Validierungsthemen]], analogous to [[m:En validation topics]].
That is: it's something that will show up in the new software. I'd be very surprised if any of the top 10 wikis wouldn't benefit from some application of it. Of course, they may want to wait to see how the trial goes first ;-)

Oooops. We are uncovered....
Indeed, that's typical of the French. Wait and see till other "break their teeth" (French, saying, it looses in the translation) on newer stuff, and then laugh if they fail, look at them and say with a very condescending tone a phrase like "We knew it would not work" or... try hard to catch up for years to come.
